The Venezuelan government yesterday claimed a tuna fishing vessel within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) was 'illegally' and 'hostilely' assaulted by a US Navy Destroyer- the USS Jason Dunham.
This follows a ramped US military presence in the southern Caribbean in the past few weeks and the lethal strike which killed 11 departing from Venezuela on an alleged 'drug carrying' vessel two weeks ago.
A communique released by the Venezuelan Government yesterday condemned the alleged US action which it said occurred on Friday.
